Good company to work for

Pros

A good company with a strong brand, attract lots of smart talents. Good development and training programmes, strong value throughout the organisation and respected/practiced by every employees.

Cons

A lot of processes, sometimes too much time spent on managing processes. Tendency to over-engineer simple things, too much collaboration and rounds of engagements required before a decision can be made. The job rotations every few years require the employees to make their own career, make their own connections to secure next job they want.

Pros

The company is a great place to work, and not always famous for that but usually employees are very happy and loyal. There is a big support for people's development, great benefits to move and realocate, most of the places offer great flexibility, meaning that you can work virtually, part time or sharing a role if needed and would be totally supported, etc.

Cons

The size of the company causes red-tape to be something usual. Is not as bad as in other companies, but still you need to talk with 1,000,000 before taking action

Good company to work, with lots of politics

Pros

- Good learning opportunities - If you work hard, you'll be recognised and rewarded if you're at the lower chain of the organisation - Competitive salary/compensation/benefits package

Cons

- The organisation is shrinking in size, with the 3-4 year job rotation system you'll need lots of luck and networking to maintain your job within the company - Political, slow on decision making and constant rework
